The only downside I can think of for going the military route is as a canadian I would be in the RCAF. Which our Airforce is a complete joke! If I went through a flight college in the States than I would be able to get a job lined up in the states after.
But I guess we are suppose to be getting the F-35s to replace our hornets so that would be good. Plus there is always the oppritunity to go to the US airforce test pilot school at edwards, I hear they take some canadians. That way I would be able to be loaned to either the US Airforce or Navy. But for that I would have to get fighters not helicopters(damn Sea Kings and HUEY's) or Transport.
I hear lots of stories about Canadian pilots on exchange with the US AirForce and Navy. Any of you military guys know any or anything about it?
Any of your opinions change that it is the Canadian Airforce, not the American?
